Fine Woodworking named this award-winning 12" jointer/planer as "Best Overall" in its category. The Minimax FS 30C T offers premium power and precision in a compact size for any shop. With long jointer tables and sturdy fence, this machine is a quality product, made in Italy, for a value price. Find out why one of the best-selling units may be perfect for you.

The FS 30C T has a separate jointer fence that rides on a rail mounted to the jointer table. The rigid fence is made of extruded aluminum that is 1,670 mm in length, has a cast-iron knuckle, and can tilt up to 45°.

This machine features a 12” Jointer and a 12” Planer with a 59” long cast-iron table. The planer is able to process up to 9” thick material. The jointer/planer head also comes standard with a “Tersa” head. The most versatile cutterhead, Tersa has the fastest changeover time thanks to its disposable knife design. The knives are double-sided and lock into place by centrifugal force - no special tools or knife setting required! Just start the machine, and the knives automatically index themselves.

Also featured is an American-style, OSHA-approved standard guard. American safety standards state that when the guard is moved out of the way and let go, it must automatically recover the cutterhead, which is why the American “pork chop” guard is standard. It is spring-loaded to comply with American safety standards.

The FS 30C - T comes with a "Tersa" Knife cutterhead. Tersa Knives are double-sided for long life, disposable, and lock into place when you start the machine — no special tools required! These knives also have one of the quickest changeover times in the industry. Available in different materials and designs for different types of wood. Click the link below to see all Tersa Knives.
